Question

Show the following numbers on the number line.

(a) 0.2 (b) 1.9

(c) 1.1 (d) 2.5

Answer 1

(a) 0.2 represents a point between 0 and 1 on number line, such that the

space between 0 and 1 is divided into 10 equal parts. Hence, each equal part will be equal to one-tenth. Now, 0.2 is the second point between 0 and 1.

(b) 1.9 represents a point between 1 and 2 on number line, such that the

space between 1 and 2 is divided into 10 equal parts. Hence, each equal part will be equal to one-tenth. Now, 1.9 is the ninth point between 1 and 2.

(c) 1.1 represents a point between 1 and 2 on number line, such that the

space between 1 and 2 is divided into 10 equal parts. Hence, each equal part will be equal to one-tenth. Now, 1.1 is the first point between 1 and 2.

(d) 2.5 represents a point between 2 and 3 on number line, such that the

space between 2 and 3 is divided into 10 equal parts. Hence, each equal part will be equal to one-tenth. Now, 2.5 is the fifth point between 2 and 3.
